A male child born of related parents suffered recurrent infections because of neutrophil actin dysfunction with increased amounts of a 47-kD protein and decreased amounts of an 89-kD protein (NAD 47/89). The patient and family members were studied to define the nature of the abnormal proteins and to examine their role in the functional defects of neutrophil actin dysfunction (NAD) 47/89 polymor...

Sera from 10 women with Chlamydia trachomatis culture positive cervicitis and sera from six men with C trachomatis positive non-gonococcal urethritis were studied for the presence of IgG, IgM, and IgA antibodies to polypeptides of C trachomatis elementary bodies and reticulate bodies using immunoblotting techniques. All the sera with IgG, IgM, or IgA immunoglobulins specific to C trachomatis re...

This study aimed to propose a method for the estimation of Secchi disk depth ( Zsd) values in northern Persian Gulf, Strait Hormuz, and Gulf Oman (N-PG-SH-GO), based on MODIS-Kd(490) data. The field-observed Zsd were collected during seven research cruises conducted by vessel between 2018 2021. A total number 114 observed 68 stations. daily Kd(490) MODIS-Aqua/L2 data downloaded all days (± thre...

Krabbe disease (KD) is a progressive and devasting neurological disorder that leads to the toxic accumulation of psychosine in white matter central nervous system (CNS). The condition inherited via biallelic, loss-of-function mutations galactosylceramidase (GALC) gene. To rescue GALC gene function CNS twitcher mouse model KD, an adeno-associated virus serotype 1 vector expressing murine under c...

Knowledge distillation (KD) is widely applied in the training of efficient neural network. A compact model, which trained to mimic representation a cumbersome model for same task, generally obtains better performance compared with being ground truth label. Previous KD-based works mainly focus on two aspects: (1) designing various feature knowledge transfer; (2) introducing different mechanism s...

We propose algorithms for maintaining two variants of kd-trees of a set of moving points in the plane. A pseudo kd-tree allows the number of points stored in the two children to differ. An overlapping kd-tree allows the bounding boxes of two children to overlap. We show that both of them support range search operations in O(n) time, where 2 only depends on the approximation precision. When the ...
